US moves to impose allegations of visa fraud against Chinese researchers

WASHINGTON: The US Justice Department moved on Thursday to bring down all charges against a Chinese researcher who was arrested last year for visa fraud in “Chinese initiative” which aims to prevent US technology transfer.
Tang Juan, a researcher at the University of California Davis School of Medicine, whose jury will begin on Monday, was arrested in July last year for allegedly hiding his military affiliation.
In submission with the US District Court for East Regency California, prosecutors said they were moving to dismiss the charges and empty the trial, but did not give reasons.
The move arose after the defense was called on Monday to be consumed, based on the evidence of a new report was expressed by FBI analyst that questioned whether the visa application question about “military service” was quite clear for Chinese medical scientists at the military university and hospital.
At least five Chinese researchers were arrested last year for this problem and two were still in prison.
The civil liberties, such as American Civil Liberties Union and the Asian law caucus, have voiced concerns about these cases, by saying they reflect the anti-Chinese bias.
Defense lawyers said their real crime clients were running from US-Chinese politics.
The Justice department began the Chinese initiative three years ago under former President of the Republic of Donald Trump to fight Chinese national security threats.
This step also came when US State Deputy Secretary Wendy Sherman will visit China.
Sherman, officials ranking second countries, will meet members of the State Council and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and other officials.
This visit can help set the stage for further exchange and a potential meeting between President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping later this year.
Before arresting Tang, he sought refuge in the Chinese consulate in San Francisco, after the FBI interrogation with his mother and daughter.
The judge in this case then ordered the FBI interview to be imposed because Tang had not been read by Miranda’s right, a warning against allegations.
Judge in the case of Song Chen, another Chinese researcher and a guest scholar at Stanford University, has ordered the FBI interrogation down for the same reason.
Thursday night, the government appealed to the ninth circuit court against the verdict in the case of Chen, a court that shows.
